Sounds like you had all the characters. Barney, Goober, Aint Bee, Howard, etc. Don't wory, Andy finally showed up to straighten things out.
I've got a real good image of this:
isolated penninsula town, rich tourista's, townies, tough times, under-educated, evil baron in a rolling bling palace, etc.
It all adds up to the episode entitled "THE CRIME OF THE CENTUERY in Mayberry".
You are a shoe-in for the funniest story and I think you should run a POG rally workshop, --- maybe "Ways to avoid an international incident while bussing."
Please let us know how you make out running the border.
